It is a brutal and silent crisis: the growing number of missing or murdered Indigenous women across the U.S., including right here in California. Many of these cases are under investigation and remain unsolved.
Northern California is known for its remote, rugged beauty. But there is a deepening sense of dread under the canopy of majestic redwoods and isolated stretches of beach. Indigenous women are going missing and many of them are winding up dead.
California is home to the largest Native American population in the United States. Staggering statisticsshow 84% of Indigenous women living on reservations experience some form of violence and are ten times more likely to be murdered, while 40% of victims exploited in sex trafficking operations are indigenous.
For nearly two centuries, the U.S. government forcibly removed Indian children from their families and put them into hundreds of boarding schools across the country The goal: to assimilate them into white culture.
